Valpolicella DOC Famoses des de l'època romana, els turons de Valpolicella han estat sempre un lloc simbòlic per al cultiu de la vinya. El sòl argilo-calcari i el microclima mitigats per la brisa del llac de Garda contribueixen al desenvolupament excepcional de les varietats autòctones de raïm, Corvina, Rondinella i Molinara. Producte d'una antiga tradició molt arrelada al territori, Valpolicella DOC Le Clivie és un vi suau, elegant i molt beuble. Un gran clàssic de la tradició veronese.
